The Arctic Winter Games is a meeting place for the people of the Arctic. This applies both to sports but certainly also to culture. Each of the participating nations participates with a cultural program, where young people present a cultural performance. For many years, NAPA has had the honor of organizing the Greenlandic cultural contribution to the Arctic Winter Games. NAPA recruits 3-6 young people and gives them the framework to create a performance based on their wishes and Greenlandic culture. This is of course done with Greenlandic artist.
Together, the young people create both a performance and a workshop program, which is used to create cultural dialogue with the other participants.
For the Arctic Winter Games 2024, we have also managed to find funding from the Nordic Volt program, so that the young people can also present their performance and do cultural exchange with young people in both Iceland and the Faroe Islands.
The Arctic Winter Games will feature:
Alaska
Alberta North
Greenland
Northwest Territories
Nunavik-Quebec
Nunavut
Sápmi
Yokon
In 2024, the Arctic Winter Games will take place in Alaska. See more at www.awg2024.org
